This is way, *way* down the timeline, but I’m a knitting computer geek who really likes your site for the wonderful calculators you have, and nicely explained tutorials. I’ve knit for over 35 years, but sometimes things don’t quite compute from directions I have, and a new explanation from someone else allows me to make the connection on how something really functions. The pop-up issue is probably that their web browser has pop-ups turned off, or the computer has a separate pop-up blocker. In my case in Dec ‘08, the pop-up didn’t even show as a potential in Firefox 3 until I told NoScript to allow javascript from thedietdiary.com to execute, then Firefox notified me that there was a pop-up that wanted to execute that it had blocked, and did I want it to allow the pop-up to execute. Thanks for your wonderful blog.

hi i’m a beginning knitter and love your design but am still confused about most of the directions. is there a way to check the answers you gave to other ppls questions? because some of the ones they have asked are the same as my own.

thanks

I want to thank you for your generosity. Sooooo very nice of you to go through the work and then share this with everyone. I just entered my numbers for the first time, so have not idea how it will translate to my feet, but am definately going to knit it up. FYI… had no trouble using your calculator.

Thanks again!!!

I’ve made slippers similar to the ones on your site. To avoid my own muddle-headedness I do the following before the short-row sole:

Instead of working two knit rounds before the sole, I knit one round. I place the markers as your pattern describes. Then I work the second round by knitting all stitches at heel and toe, but working * k2, k2 tog * along the sides of the foot.

This way, I can work the sole by just working 1 sole st together with 1 slipper st on every row, not having to worry about whether it’s time to work an extra st or not. the effect is the same. It just makes the knitting more mindless.

I love your blog and all your pattern generators! You’re the bomb!
